Skills for Writing embeds the principles of the Grammar for Writing pedagogy - trialled and proven to accelerate the rate of writing progress significantly.

Accelerate progress in writing with this new solution based on a proven-to-work pedagogy, improving writing performance for a clear route to KS4 success.

Teach grammar in a contextualised way, always focusing on effects achieved, so students have a wider range of techniques with which to craft creative, effective texts. This is not just another grammar course.

ActiveTeach supports teachers in embedding the core principles of Grammar for Writing in their front-of-class teaching, providing the student book on screen and a wealth of digital resources focused on building grammatical knowledge and improving writing.

Online, self-marking homework activities on ActiveLearn consolidate and reinforce the in-class teaching, encouraging students to write independently, reflect on their writing and understand how to improve.
